@MemeCore_M has become an omnichain platform through integrations with @LayerZero_Core and @StargateFinance. The move allows MemeCore native assets, including $M, $USDC and $USDT, to be bridged to other networks.
The first supported networks are @BNBChain and Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network backed by @Coinbase (@Base).
MemeCore describes itself as a Layer 1 blockchain built for "Meme 2.0." CoinGecko's project profile says the network aims to move meme-based assets away from pure speculation and towards sustainable cultural and economic use. Until now, users who wanted to move assets between MemeCore and other chains had fewer native routes available. Linking to LayerZero and Stargate gives $M and stablecoins a path into larger liquidity pools on other networks.
The two protocols play different roles. According to LayerZero's documentation, Stargate provides onchain liquidity contracts and also runs a unified bridge front end that routes transfers for Stargate assets and LayerZero Omnichain Fungible Tokens (OFTs). LayerZero supplies the messaging layer underneath. A Not Boring analysis notes that bridges such as Stargate operate on top of LayerZero rather than being part of it.
MemeCore is EVM-compatible, according to CoinMarketCap, which makes connections to other EVM networks such as BNB Chain and Base technically straightforward. The M token is used for transaction fees, staking and the network's Proof of Meme mechanism, Bitazza reports, so easier cross-chain access could widen where the token can be held and used.
Bridges remain a known risk area in crypto. A 2023 Business Wire release on a separate Stargate integration cited a study indicating roughly half of DeFi exploits occur on cross-chain bridges. Users moving assets between networks should check official routes and confirm token addresses before transferring.
MemeCore has not been the only chain to take this route. Other networks, including Starknet, have also connected to LayerZero and Stargate to access wider multichain liquidity.
